Former President Barack Obama still inspires many a journalist. Karen Tumulty, a longtime correspondent for Time magazine and, until last year, a national political correspondent for the Washington Post, pleaded in a Tuesday column this past week for Obama to save the nation from President Donald Trump.
“Speak up, President Obama,” read the July 16 Washington Post print headline. Online: “We need someone who can lift us up again. Enter President Obama.”
Tumulty offered “an open letter to Barack Obama,” which she began: “Mr. President, it is time. You must speak. Your country needs you.”
She soon argued: “But silence now is unacceptable. It is time to make yourself heard.”
Tumulty proceeded to castigate Republicans for not standing up to Trump’s presumed moral failings: “We have long since given up expectations that anyone in Trump’s own party will do or say anything to call him out for what he is. The few who tried at the beginning have capitulated, been driven from office or walked away.
“For Trump, racism is not a moral failing; it is a political tactic. None of us can really claim to understand what is in his heart, but the cynicism of his actions is apparent, and it must be exposed for what it is.”
A few hundred words later, she concluded by pining for Obama's wisdom and inspiration: “President Obama, what we need more than anything else right now is someone who can lift the country’s sights again. Someone who can charge us, as you once did, with a mission to ‘march into the future. Let us keep that promise, that American promise, and in the words of scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.’
“Find your voice again. Reclaim your legacy. Do it now. It won’t wait until your memoirs.”

By all means, go help Kenya, Mr. Obama.
He’ll/Obunghole keep his filthy mouth shut unless he wants Trump to take the Russia implementation investigation all the way up to him! And he KNOWS this!
Ms. Anal Retentive has spoken.
Imagine ANY reporter posting such an article begging for a conservative voice!
They would be immediately fired for conservative bias.
One little depraved cheese eater pleads to another. “Help us out of the maze.”
Save the nation from what?
“Kenyaneisan Usurper, you’re the only one who can save us.”
Your country needs you.”

Is that Kenya or Indonesia?
So what’s he supposed to do? March up Pa Ave with his Army of Cucks and take over the WH?
Dear President Trump:
Please, PLEASE save my take-home pay from all the Jihad Squad members, idiotic editorial writers, Socialists, Globalists, Greenies, etc.
It seems that their solution to every problem always includes taking more money from me - an employed, law-abiding taxpayer.
America was founded to enable a people to freely choose how to spend their lives and the fruits of their endeavors; not to have some know-it-all jimmy up some “crisis” so they can TAKE MY FAMILY’S worth to spend on their cronies for votes, brownie points, feel goods, etc.
Thanks you,
A hard-working, law abiding taxpayer.
Help us, Obi Wan Kanobi. Socialism depends on you!
Yes, have Obama save the nation from Obama’s eight years of deliberate destruction.
Oh, wait.......
These far lefties are dangerous. They are so far off the rails that they’ve left the planet.
No, she wants him to counter-tweet Trump.
... because we need to return to 1% growth and we need to import millions more somalis...
Pound sand, you obamalover.
He knows what’s coming and will stay in hiding as long as he can. Once the spotlight reaches him, it’s going to be ugly.
